Merry Katherine Prince

Welcome! I am Angie B. Prince, child of God, wife of Tommy, mother of 3, psychotherapist and Mother Grieving.
Tommy and I met in graduate school in Atlanta, then married in 1979 and started a Christian Counseling/Coaching practice in Knoxville, TN where we still live. We have 1 daughter Merry Katherine, forever-19 in Heaven, 2 sons, Nathan (age 31) (wife Ashley), and Rollin (age 33) (wife Stephanie), and two granddaughters, Ellie and Penny.
In this blog, we process our grief over our Merry Katherine who was killed along with two other teens in a brutal car crash while on the way to the beach on 8/2/2006 (two teens survived). Having lost our daughter suddenly and violently on the cusp of launching her into adulthood, we were thrown into Complicated and Traumatic Grief. We share here our agonizing process of wading through the multiple twists and turns of shattered assumptions, challenged faith, traumatized body-soul-and-spirts, and devastated hearts. May our grief touch some of your own pain as we walk through this difficult but sacred ground together.

. . . . . We now have physiological evidence via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that such "comfort" is indeed, a fact! In debilitating, complicated grief after the sudden death of a loved one, "comfort" was shown by significant nucleus accumbens activation in the brain's reward network!

Please read my fellow grieving mother and blog friend's blog post regarding her child's death and of the local officials' inaction to thoroughly investigate her child's death:

Please check out this precious grieving-mother friend's petition to our courts to get her child's death thoroughly investigated. If you find it in your heart to do so, please sign your name to her petition either today or tomorrow! (No matter where you live, you may sign her petition.) Below is my note that I added when I signed her petition today:

Dearest Katie,

I am so sorry that your precious child's death has not been thoroughly investigated here in Knox County. It is a travesty and an outrage that a death so heinous and so callously treated by adults who had every resource available to them to assist your son to get the help he needed when he was completely unable to help himself has continued to be cruelly and callously treated, to my understanding, by our local officials whom we helped to vote into office who also have every resource at hand to bring justice to your son and to your family but are refusing to do so.

I am appalled and outraged by such despicable treatment by those who are in a position to take the due course of action that justice demands. If the "powers that be" do not do their jobs to protect our citizens and work to bring about justice when they could not protect our citizens, may all our voices continue to be heard in the voting booths and in the public forum.

Your friend and fellow grieving mother,

Angie
